Meryl Streep - 2011 Kennedy Center Honors 

Watch her movies. You'll learn. ;-)

YES

So true!!

She was fantastic as Fantine but Emily Blunt ‘IS’ Mary Poppins.

@@Hydrophobiawhipwhop No, Julie Andrews *is* Mary Poppins.

That movie was so important then and now. Because the choice was horrific! And it happened all day everyday in those horrible years of those camps

One exception for me was "Ricki and the flash". I HATED that movie.

Ikr!!! I'd be fucking mortified

Very intense, but very deserved.

Awckward...that confuses me.

you made me keep repeating that part. Such a beautiful moment

I agree, what a voice!

YEAH for some reason I always swoon when she sings

I love Anne

Absolutely correct in both sentiments!

@@shelleymackay9736 Tiene una voz excelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Lillian, how are you doing today?

+susan jane I love Meryl but it doesn't mean she is worthy of admiration. I just only look up to Kate Hepburn for her fierce independence and strong-willed personality (personal life not just on screen). Meryl is a scheming opportunist.#she knows

sophies choice baby.

soz but "fierce independence" dont be fooled by film roles and real life you should read her bio. she chose to devote herself to an alcoholic man who refused to divorce his wife (Spencer Tracy) and belittled her in front of their friends including sitting at his feet after dinner parties. Personally I have no problem if a woman chose to allow herself to be treated like and I still love some of her films but I dont quite get the connection between being fond of one actress and finding it a reason to be rude about a great actress

@111739167928144203486 I am disrespectful towards Meryl. What i am trying to say is that Kate had a lot of hardships and she managed to surpass them and become a great screen legend and most importantly, a greatest human being.of living independently among actors in general. Furthermore, I know she has her weaknesses but she still has such forceful energy to live on, crafting more greater performances. It is her spirit that shines here. By constrast, Meryl is just a mediocre "fine" example of the scheming actress and opportunist - human being. Her life had nothing for other actresses to learn from except for being opportunists. In fact, I am not talking about ""inspiration"" or "talents" because without a doubt, to become a successful one, you have to be talented and skillful enough to get on. In short, she is still not worth being admired because of just making use of the resources "available" from other actresses to make it become hers. Above all, KH should be taken much more credit in a capacity as a "human being" than the other. Hail her !!!

Scottie Baxter A great performance from a scheming person. :))))) z delany Maybe you should know the story of Meryl boosting her breast to get the role in "Out of Africa". Read it :v All things considered, she is not worthy of admiration.

I think her acting is superior directly because of the way she really inhabits her character. She clearly has a deep sense of empathy and love for human beings that is a rarity among actors who generally tend to be self centered narcissists.

I was fortunate enough to see Meryl Streep in 1977's The Cherry Orchard as well. She was absolutely mesmerizing. It was impossible to watch anyone but her when she was on stage. I remember telling my fellow drama majors that she was going to be very famous one day. I am so thrilled -- but not surprised -- by her amazing success. And I am so impressed by her successful personal life and integrity as well.

Glenn Close and Meryl Streep are not friends. In fact they do not like each other. That's why presence of Glenn is so impressive. She appreciates Meryl, not liking her.

Who is Glenn Clos?

“I have never been close friends with Meryl. We have huge respect for each other, but I have only done one thing with her, The House Of The Spirits.”

@@lestergreelack3131 She has NEVER stated she dislikes her.

Hello Lynn, how are you doing today?

She is thee ACTRESS!

As they today, the GOAT.

She is the greatest actress ...ever

No way dear. Margaret Thatcher is her top already. Perhaps keep being nominated with no more wins. Or maybe a Jean ...Humanitarian. blah blah blah

And Meryl will never be as great in character like Kate Hepburn

@@screenactorsguilable Of course, you are joking, right?

@@SuperJaspersmom I hold a view that Meryl is a dull and trivial character in comparison to Kate's. I am not talking tall about acting ok

@@screenactorsguilable Be careful now. Kate Hepburn was a bigger liberal than Meryl. Also, Kate was allegedly a lesbian. Chances are very strong, that Ms. Hepburn would NOT be a trump supporter either. Besides, Meryl is the better actor, anyway. It's ok, I understand.

+Beth Watkins Brilliantly stated !!! I JUST LOVE HER SO !!!

Not only American but the world

Meryl is forever an inspiration to me. She is quite simply the best of the best. Long may she reign.

all i can say is we are very lucky to have been in the same time as her

True. She represents fine quality of this culture. As she was invited to Shanghai Movie Festival to serve as a jury she learned Chinese. This type of attitude, dedication, and professionalism sets an example to everyone she meets. She earns respect for her and for the culture she represents.

Hello Nicolae, how are you doing today?

Nick Mayor You‘ve seen Meryl in the 70‘s on stage? 😱😍😭❤️🙏🏻

Well guess u have not heard of KH ( Katharine Hepburn )

Me too man!

@@christophermiller159Dear lord you read my mind, I get emotional as well. She is really a gifted human being.

She is SO humble. And so funny in interviews and in accepting awards. I've been watching videos of her all day.

Very cool. I'd love to meet her. I would, in the words of Woody Allen, ' sell my mother to the Arabs', to just be able to behold her, once. Great actress, great woman.

IS the greatest actor of all time!

Even if the movie wasn't outstanding,her performances always elevate it.

And she pretty much nailed the Aussie accent, too, which I haven't heard too many American actors do.

Let me say that it takes a lot to impress me, but Meryl does it flawlessly. But being able to speak and write more than one language is also impressive! And I mean REALLY impressive! Bravo and a standing ovation to you!

@@melissaupton2097 oh, dear lord! You've just made me smile big time. Thanks very much. I simply love her. Greetings from Mexico!

It's good that he doesn't seem insecure of her success. Many men struggle with that.
